Your First visit

On your initial visit, Dr. Swick will take a detailed history to review important aspects of your health.  He will ask you questions about your current problem, lifestyle habits (including sleep patterns, diet and eating habits), work stresses, previous accidents, etc. After talking with you, Dr. Swick will perform a thorough spinal exam, measuring your ranges of motion and evaluating your joints for any dis-ease, restrictions of motion and subluxations. He will utilize numerous orthopedic, chiropractic and neurologic tests, evaluate your posture using a digital postural analysis, check for bilateral weight balance, and order any X-rays if needed. 

The most important question for Dr.Swick to answer is whether or not you are a candidate for care in his office. He will want to thoroughly understand your current condition and state of health, then correlate that with your examination and X-ray findings.  This will allow him to determine if you are suffering from any areas of nervous system compromise. 

Report of findings

If Dr. Swick finds neurologic interference and you are accepted as a patient, he will design a specific plan of action to correct your subluxations and lead you on the road to health and recovery. This often includes nutritional, postural, and lifestyle advice as well as a series of chiropractic adjustments to restore your nerve supply and proper spinal alignment.  Dr. Swick will also put together a very specific exercise regime, targeted to address your individual needs in order to restore and maintain proper posture. These recommendations will be discussed in a subsequent visit during your Report of Findings.

The goal of your care will be to accelerate healing and hasten recovery time, reduce your need for expensive and potentially harmful medications, improve your sleep patterns, strengthen your immune system (thereby decreasing your need for sick visits to the doctor), and release the healing potential of your body so you can function at 100%!

If after review of your examinations and X-rays Dr. Swick has finds that your health concern cannot benefit from chiropractic care at this time, you will be referred to an appropriate physician to address your health care needs. Because he is highly trained in diagnosis, rest assured, he will direct you to the right practitioner.
